What better way to warm up the holidays than with a musical revue of one of music's most prolific composers, and the writer of "Too Darn Hot."

Tonight, the Limelight Theatre opens "Too Darn Hot," a show that runs through more than 40 of Cole Porter's best known classics including ''Kiss Me Kate,'' ''Can-Can,'' ''Silk Stockings'' and ''Anything Goes.'' The show is a two-hour performance with a cast of six.

"Too Darn Hot" follows on last year's successful presentation of Irving Berlin works called "Puttin' on the Ritz."

This show reunites the earlier "Puttin' on the Ritz" team of Gary Cadwallader, as director and choreographer, and Kathy Sloan of St. Augustine, as musical director and accompanist. Cadwallader is the director of education with Seaside Music Theatre in Daytona Beach.

The cast includes Sean Campos and Damon Keith, as well as Limelight regulars Josh Weidenmiller, Lisa Black, Suzann Nicole and Jeni Fuller. Fuller also appeared in last year's ''Puttin' on the Ritz.''

There will be an opening reception tonight at 7:15 p.m. before the show.

''Too Darn Hot'' runs through Jan. 28 with performances on Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. There will also be Sunday matinees on Jan. 14 and 28 at 2 p.m.
